First box of cents

[Hmille10]

Today i bought my first box of cents just to get a feel of the whole CRHing. I ended up with 56 wheaties! What does a box normally average for you guys? I feel as i might of had some beginners luck on my side but not sure.

You might not ever beat that, you might as well quit now and go out a winner. No JK, good job. I don't think I've ever had a box with that many wheats in it. Like BB says try getting some more from the same Bank, they might be from the same lot. That's a good way to start, hope your success continues.

I think my best box was 100something, followed with one in the 80's, then 70's then drops to the 40's. So that's a really nice box!

Yes, you did well. I average about 3 wheats per box, and my all time best box had 8.
